This LMS presents a platform for many students and tutors assessments . Student performance has two forms of electronic assessment, summative assessment and formative assessment. Tutor Marking Assignments (TMAs) in AOU is an important formative assessment to be downloaded and uploaded to LMS but unfortunately handled in long mechanical cycles outside the LMS. LMS needs to be enhanced to handle the TMAs more efficiently . TMA activity module will be a significant contribution of correct TMAs grading and handling derived by the success of open learning models using e-learning methodologies such as online activities , search engines and the concept of data mining associative classifier
